Series Resources- Handle with Care
This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of resources on the issues that we’re looking at in a teaching series on Biblical sexuality; however, these are suggested authors and speakers who have some timely and timeless thoughts on what God’s Word teaches us on these issues as well as how we’re to walk them well in a culture that is adrift.
You’ll note the headings that various authors are listed under as well as a suggested resource like a podcast or an online article that will enable you to become introduced to any particular author rather than merely a book reference.
Additionally, you’ll note the letters “DD” connected to some resources that would suggest a “Deeper Dive” on a particular topic as opposed to the remaining resources being recommendations of where to start on these issues.
